Coach: Dominick Cruz feeling 'great', wants winner of Cody Garbrandt vs. T.J. Dillashaw

Dominick Cruz wants no less than an instant title shot against the winner of the bantamweight championship bout between Cody Garbrandt and T.J. Dillashaw at UFC 213, according to his head coach, Eric Del Fierro.

Cruz, 32, is familiar with both men, beating Dillashaw via split decision at UFC Fight Night 81 but losing the title to 'No Love' at UFC 207 in December of last year.

Del Fierro, the head trainer of Alliance MMA, says 'The Dominator' fought injured in both bouts but offered no excuses.
